WAVE Research Launch

Workload and Volunteerism of Educators Survey

The OSSTF/FEESO Action Plan, approved at AMPA 2013, included a proposed study to identify the portion of OSSTF/FEESO members' time that is Ministry or board directed, or spent on voluntary/extracurricluar activities. Our members give enormously of their good will and this research study will attempt to quantify these contributions.

Members (who are working for district school boards) are strongly encouraged to assist their union in gathering this important data.

This is an opportunity for every board-employed OSSTF/FEESO member who has given of their own personal time to have it quantified. It is also an opportunity for OSSTF/FEESO members who have participated in Ministry or board initiatives that impacted on their regular work to place a value upon such initiatives.

The WAVE survey will be accessible until Saturday November 30, 2013. The results will be made available at AMPA 2014.
